18049604 No.18049604 [Reply] [Original]

This book was recommended by Jordan Peterson and it has made me more sympathetic to the plights of the working class than any of the often shilled leftie or commie lit. He's also right when he says leftists don't care for the lower class, they just hate the upper class.

This is absolutely true, it was true in Orwell's day and it's true in our day as well. You see it everywhere. Why are so many modern "leftists" from the middle-class, the upper-middle-class, or the upper-class? If Marxism is supposed to help the working-class, why do there seem to be so few working-class Marxists?

Its because leftism isn't fueled by love for the poor and the lower classes, it's fueled by resentment for those above you. Every single fucking internet leftist, and most leftists offline as well for that matter, does nothing but seethe at those who have more money and status than them, so they embrace Marxism because they think it will give them the opportunity to tear down those higher on the totem pole than they are, purely and entirely out of resentment.

Leftism is fundamentally fueled by cruelty and a massive inferiority complex. Why do you think it's right-wingers, not left-wingers, who so often donate to charity, and volunteer at homeless shelters? Because right-wingers far more often have a genuine care for the economically disadvantaged.

This is true, though Ted elaborated on this further. I would also say I think they view Marxism as a commodity for social status, ironically.

Orwell's critique of the attitudes and motivations of middleclass reformers was cogent, but middleclass people in general tend to be arrogant self-serving hypocrites regardless of their political affiliations. Not all middleclass people are like that, though, and the ones who are discredit themselves rather than their ideals. Working-class socialists were more common in the west until 50 years ago. Neoliberalism since then really did a number on the labor movement and the working class there in general.

Catholic Integralism, or just heavily Catholic politics in general. The Church has always taught that the poor are beloved by God, and that they are to be treated preferentially and taken special care of. But the Church also has always fucking hated Marxism because Marxism is explicitly atheist and has a fully materialist conception of reality.

I suppose Liberation Theology is a particularly working-class-focused strain of Catholic thought. There are a few of them who took it too far and so big daddy Ratzinger had to bring the hammer down on them back in the 80s, but the ones that remained fully orthodox are good.

Because Marxism isn't an identity LARP, it's a theory about the actual objective facts of the economic system.

Marxism says that the working class, the class defined as those who have no other means of subsistence other than selling their labor to a capitalist, have a *self-interest* in abolishing capitalism because they do all the actually productive work, get very little of the reward and someone else gets to live wealthy and secure lives.

This reality can be true completely independently of any single individual worker actually wanting to abolish it.

First, I'll say that I like Peterson a lot and the class was great. Second, people didn't really react at all. Peterson actually had a lot of rapport on campus before he became famous and it wasn't easy to get into his section of 230),

To be specific about what happened: he brought up his work trying to find a job for a client with a low IQ and how hard it was to find anything for them to do (even volunteer work). He then mentioned how social programmes are naive because they don't actually help these types of people. He then brought up racial differences in IQ and said that affirmative action programmes don't help people who need it the most (and added that symbolic representation, arguably, won't solve any real problems such communities face...because they have low IQs).

Because slaves did all of the work and reaped none of the reward in the slave economy. They aren't completely analogous to a worker because a worker can, if he wants, choose to starve to death or choose to work for a different employer, whereas a slave would be whipped if he stopped picking the cotton, so in that sense a worker is freer.

But economically speaking, they fulfill the same role in the economy, they make whatever the owners sell for a profit, and get very little in return, and they have zero self-interest in that system continuing.

log off and learn some history or watch news that isn't fox and cnn. Socialism has and is continuously being fought for in south and central america by the proletariat. ?

In Peru, a socialist union leader and teacher is on track to become president.

Evo Morales, a farmer, laborer, and union leader was the president of Bolivia (until the temp. military coup) and used a mixed economy which made Bolivia one of the fastest developing economies in the world.

The FARC, being undefeatable by neoliberal infested colombia, leveraged their power to gain permanent representation in Colombia's neoliberal government.

China has become a global economic leader and lifted millions out of poverty and an exploding GDP. Funny how communists can manage capitalism better than so-called capitalist.

Euro and American proles are fucked and useless but outside of that tiny bubble, socialism, marxism, and communism has proven itself superior to capitalist liberalism.

The entire reason so many working-class people wind up hating Marxism is because they tend to be religious, and hardcore Marxists often spend an inordinate amount of time trying to wipe religion out. This is literally exactly what happened in Spain and it is directly why Franco arose and why he won. If the Reds hadn't raped nuns and defaced churches they probably would not have been roflstomped as hard as they were, because they would have had greater public support.

No it's literally because Marx mixes some quite sound historical and economic analysis with a lot of weird Millennarian/New Age/atheist gobbledygook that winds up discrediting the good things in his work. And subsequent Marxists have only added MORE gobbledygook, and behaved in increasingly retarded and destructive ways, like when Stalin starved half the Ukraine and Mao killed every bird in China and caused a famine.

This is why nobody fucking likes Marxists, because the start out talking very sensibly about the plight of the working-class and the evils of capitalism but then they spin themselves off into Looney Tunes land. It's exactly why nobody fucking liked the Jacobins, because they took the legitimate grievances of the poor in France and used them as an excuse to do all sorts of retarded bullshit.

This is totally stupid two accounts. One, when communists speak of "abolishing the family" they're talking about creating public services that allow the raising of children easier, such as public schools and daycare centers, so that children aren't overtly dependent on the parents. The family is "abolished" in the sense that economic necessary of its existence is stamped out. Second, the fetishization of family is absolutely cringeworthy. The word "family" literally comes from the Roman word "Pater familias" - which meant slaves. The asinine assumption the family is something to be inherently cherished is non-sense. The family can among the most abusive institutions to exist - your parents literally indoctrinate you without you ever having consent, and they also have a level of coercion against you - economic and physical. We don't even have to talk the fact that there people being born, every day, in abusive family households that end up having an extremely high impact on their livelihood and potential life path. To defend the family as something "sacred", and to be held on a pedestal is just so stupid.
Really, the problem is the fact that communists are like their rat-fucking opposition, they want to enslave the individual with principles, demands, and duties. They never seem want to leave people be; some dumbass from the 19th century has all jacked up to impose your will unto others without you ever being necessary to "save" them from themselves.

But it's absolutely the correct reading. And, moreover, it puts Marx in the exact historical and literary context in which he belongs. It puts him in the same context as Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard, and in fiction people like the Bronte sisters in England. They were all different, of course, in many ways, but not as much as you might think.

All of these people, what pulls them together? It's that they are post-Enlightenment, post-French-Revolution, post-Napoleon. Their faith in Christendom has already been shaken by Enlightenment writers and thinkers like Voltaire, and by the overwhelming post-Christian intellectual project of Hegel. They are all aware, even if some of them instinctively, that the Christian project has run out of steam and must be replaced. So what replaces it? What fuels the world in the future, if Faith in Jesus Christ must be abandoned and seen as ridiculous at best, harmful at worst?

Every major Romantic thinker and writer grappled with this issue, INCLUDING Marx. Indeed, someone once said that the collapse of the Soviet Union was in some ways a tragedy, even if you weren't a Marxist, because it represented the final, last defeat of Romanticism, and all its passionate dreams of a post-Christian "better world."

No, it proves that no one is infallible including Marx, no one is purely rational including Marx, and no one is immune to superstition, including Marx.
There is of course a difference in the degrees to which and the manners in which those ideologies have adopted aspects of christianity, and the ways in which Marx did have been firmly established. You not liking that fact doesn't change it one bit. You want your prophet to have created his ideas out of a vacuum - he didn't, he was influenced by the ideas that preceded him, both directly and indirectly. The result is that Marx's ideas overlap to some extent with the other post-christian ideologies, which was the entire fucking point. Now kindly fuck off.

It is the elite in any society who control the narrative and steer any nation toward their desired direction, with help from the brainless left-wing academics of course.
The only thing the left have been good at in the late 20th and early 21st century has been 'deconstructing' things the working class and most other people like, and working as radical shock troops for further political change.

Lets be clear: When China does invade Taiwan--as is looking highly likely based on Taiwan's refusal to integrate with the Mainland--and if USA (and her allies) come to the aid of Taiwan then it will set off a greater conflict.

Now China is poised to have the ability to steamroll all of her neighboring nation-states--if China is not already at that point (they've been known to conceal military data). One observer has speculated Taiwan, in her current state, would last two weeks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4uotsKHuNQ

Now taking US involvement in the matter, China still has the advantage from the fact that it is her home region--logistics are far easier for China compared to the US. Plus China has huge numbers and to add to this the fact that the US is already overextending herself--the flashpoint in Ukraine, and the whole Middle East conundrum.

Honestly these continued arms sale to Taiwan should really frighten most people as it decreases the time China has to make her move.

The fact that you are samefagging this much is more proof you need to be blown away.

Its proven to produce degenerates like you, so, I really doubt its a good insitution. You just scream about the "family", and act as if it wishes away the amount of coercion, and abuse, the family has towards the individual. Like, you just need to be shot, and its perfectly okay to shoot people who disagree with you. Who gives a fuck if you die. You're worthless.

Why would you want the state to have more control over your children, when you can see currently what that entails? They get indoctrinated into being a gay antiracist who hates themself by the time they've finished 'high school'.

Marxism isn’t about aiding the poor. It is about establishing elite control over society and the ushering in of a new social, economic, and political order under the guise of giving control to the workers. Marxism is unwelcoming. It is confrontational and cult like. A world apart from the human salt of the earth socialism of the social democrats that Marxists so hate.
Marxism seeks to upend and destroy and terrorise. It seeks the estrangement of man from his national community and religion and renders him a slave to those in control of the revolution.
